In my search for the Christmas Spirit I have discovered compassion. Many people see compassion as a weakness, I see it as a strength. To extend love and understanding to someone else who needs it, is a gift.
Compassion doesn't cost anything. It is a way showing others that you care. If given freely compassion can be as uplifting to the giver as to the receiver. I see it in the annual fund raiser the kids at our local high school do every year. I see it in the way my son gives money to the homeless. I see it in the care my neighbors give of service to one another. I see it in the as my children do things for each other whenever they are together.
Anyone can give a gift that costs money, I think it takes effort to give someone the gift of compassion. Although it is easier to see at this season of the year, I love seeing compassionate people all year long.
Compassion takes an extra bit of selflessness.
Until next time.
